cures for toothache

[Linda51]

I keep getting toothache, the dentist has given me some anti biotics until I have a crown done in the new year but it still feels delicate, has anyone got any toothache cures.

Only thing I can think of is Oil of Cloves.

Oil of cloves as above - Get it from a chemist and dab a little onto the sore area.

Push half an aspirin down between your cheek and the tooth. Gives effective temporary relief.

i have just been through all this and now had the tooth out.the stuff i used which is BRILLIANT is called ORAJEL..but use very little on a cotton bud.and dab it around the area.hope this is of some help.its only a small tube but goes a long way..

keep rinising your mouth out with tepid salt water solution - it helps to kill infection. Also you can do the same with aspirin/paracetamol ( it you are asthamtic you will know which one to use) this will help kill the infection and some of the pain. Solpahdine Max is good as a painkiller - both anti inflamatory and pain killer. I know this works as when I have dental problems they are big!!! hope you feel better soon and this helps

I found that taking avegimin tablet for the pain, and with a piece of cotton wool, dabbed it with ANBESOL.
